502,
I called because I wanted to make sure they were TACO products. The dimensions he shows are slightly dfferent than the TACO site. If I undrstood him correctly it is because the TACO sight is up-dated and his wasn't. When I do this type of project I like to have exactly the same type as what I am removing so there are no surprises. I did not turn over every stone but from what I could find out he's still cheaper by about $6.00 per piece than anyone I found.

BONZ,
I will let all know how it goes.
Dave

Post some pics after you have the job completed. I'm also curious how the joints look too. I need to replace my rubrail on my 31.

If you go to your local West Marine they can order you any Taco rub rail in the catalog. They will ship it to the store then you go pick it up. Shipping won't cost you a dime. I did this a few times and saved some money....plus the price of the rub rail through West Marine was actually good.

OK, It's been awhile. The rub rail came in about a week after I ordered it. Some pieces were damaged but I was able to make it work. Don't know if the damage was from shipping or not. The pieces were wrapped individually and then shrink wrapped together, then shipped in a PVC tube.
I've bought rail before from west marine and would probably go back there next time. Not impressed with rubrails.com

Shipping is always MUCH cheaper if you ship to a comercial location. Also since you can handle it by hand just tell them you have a loading dock and or fork lift.
